#DataMustFall campaign against mobile data rip-off

Mobile operators Telkom MTN Vodacom Cell C MTN

Tbo Touch, CEO of TouchCentral FM, has given mobile networks 30 days to make a change to their mobile data prices.

“All Networks have 30 days to make a change! We will all move our subscription to the network that cares about its customers #datamustfall,” he said on Twitter.

After he launched the #DataMustFall campaign, thousands of South Africans joined – asking for more affordable mobile data prices.

Touch said he is meeting with ICASA’s chairman to discuss high mobile data prices, and will make this a public meeting.

According to 702, none of the network providers targeted in the campaign have responded to the outcry.

Update – Afrihost launches competition

Afrihost has launched a #DataMustFall competition, giving customers the chance to win free mobile data for life.

It is unclear whether Afrihost is behind the #DataMustFall movement.
